-Falling to Pieces-

Falling To Pieces started out as a heavy East Bay 4-piece band called Fellatia. In July, 2002, tragedy struck the band as their guitarist and long-time friend Rob LaRosa, along with long-time friend John Pitman died in a car accident. Wrought with tragedy and the determination to go forward, the band, Fellatia, continued on as a 3-piece band for quite some time with Jason Lewis on Vocals and Bass, Eric Stewart on Guitar and Nick Benigno on Drums. However, the band wanted something more.

And in late August, 2003, they got what they wanted. Jason Voorhees joined the band and took over on Bass so Lewis could focus entirely on singing. This lineup added a new element to the band but something still was lacking. After playing a few shows together it was decided that the band still was missing a critical element and, beginning in January 2004, the band went on hiatus in order to find an additional guitarist and begin writing brand new material.

After several months of trying out other guitar players, Benigno's long-time college friend Eric Ruxton joined the group in May 2004. Finally satisfied with all elements of the band, Falling To Pieces is set to inspire a killing spree. When you hear this band, you will know what heavy fucking metal is supposed to sound like.

"The E.P. To Kill By" from the East Bay area fivepiece known as Falling to Pieces, consists of three songs of utter guitar-driven heaviness served straight up, if you will. “Through The Hours”, the EP’s opener, is a fast-and-furious power anthem, featuring vocalist Jason Lewis’ Corey Taylor-esque guttural yell and tortured belting over the intricate dual guitarwork of Eric Stewart and Eric Ruxton. “No Direction” is the most frustrated and chaotic of the three, veering towards death-metal, since this is, indeed, supposed to be music to _kill by. The EP closes on a very high note with “Population One”, featuring machine-gun drums and one of those super-speed Eighties guitar solos. Though I don’t recommend that one engage in the activity suggested by Falling to Pieces while listening to their music, the Ep could definitely be at the top of one’s list of albums to… punch people in the stomach by? Not that I would ever encourage, let alone, participate in that activity either…
